Procedures

Fruit Filling

  1. Prep Peaches
    • Use a peeler to peel a peach. In my experience, other methods are just not as effective.
    • Cut to the pit all the way around the center of the peach
    • Grab top and bottom halves and twist to separate the peach
    • Pull the pit out of the side it sticks to
    • Cut each half in half and then into wedges
    • Repeat for all 8 peaches
  2. Sweeten Peaches
    • Combine peaches, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup sugar, ½ tspn cinnamon, ½ tspn nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl (I mean it - LARGE! It's a lot of peaches)
    • Hand mix the spices and such all over the peaches, then shake to ensure even coating

Cobbler

  1. Bake the Filling
    • Preheat oven to 425°F
    • Pour the peach filling and even out into a baking dish (4 quart)
    • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes
  2. Create Crust (During Initial Bake)
    • Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl
    • Add butter in with hands
    • Stir in the boiling water until combined. You want just barely combined.
  3. Assemble
    • Drop spoonfuls of the crust to cover the peaches. It will expand a bit, but you should try to cover as much as possible.
    • Mix the 3 tbsps of sugar and 1 tspn of cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top
    • Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown
    • Serve with a scoop of Bluebell Homemade Vanilla
  4. Enjoy!
